The Simple Truth

God has blessed you with time, talent and treasure. This will look different for every believer, but we all have the same objective. Today, Pastor Dion shares in his message how you should use your resources to win souls and store up treasure in heaven. You will be held accountable for what the master has given you. Don't try to compare your good works with your neighbor because they were blessed differently and will be judged accordingly.

Many of us would probably agree that humbling ourselves in confession and apology to those we've wronged isn't always easy. In some cases, we can even be fearful that the person we've offended will respond in either rejection or retribution. However, as Pastor Dion will teach you in his message today, we as believers have no reason to be fearful when coming before The Father. In his study, you'll learn that rather than anger and wrath, we can be confident that God will respond with love and mercy.

The parable of the prodigal son is perhaps one of the most powerful illustrations of God's love and grace for His own. While many of us would struggle to forgive those who've wronged us to such a degree, God is both willing and quick to forgive. In today's message, Pastor Dion reflects on this supernatural forgiveness that God displays towards those who repent. In his study, you'll be reminded that not only are we forgiven in Christ as believers, but we're justified as though we've never sinned in the first place!

Many of us are rather quick to recognize an insincere apology from someone who's offended or hurt us in some way or another. This of course leads to a compromise in our trust for that person and often creates a barrier in that relationship. As Pastor Dion will teach you in his message today, we as believers are to be sincere in our repentance and sorrow over sin. In his study, you'll be reminded that one of the most important steps of repentance is acknowledging and admitting our guilt in the first place.

Have you ever struggled with patience and grace towards someone who simply refuses to turn from their wayward path? Perhaps you've even written that person off and come to the conclusion that you no longer want anything to do with them. While this is probably more common than we care to admit, Pastor Dion will teach you how our God aggressively seeks the lost. In his study, you'll learn about the many forms of alarms that God uses in order to turn us away from our sin and repent.

As believers and followers of Christ it can be extremely easy for us to become distracted and lose sight of just how amazing the Gospel truly is. Whether we're overwhelmed, experiencing hardship, or flat out suffering, we often struggle with maintaining a healthy perspective. As Pastor Dion will remind you in his message today, our God went through great lengths to bring us into His fold. In his study, you'll be reminded that not only did our God seek each and every one of us out, but He delights and rejoices in doing so.

All too often, you go to church and encounter the Spirit and truth of Jesus, but as soon as you leave, everything you’ve experienced is left there in the sanctuary. There’s a good chance that the next time you even think about Him will be 7 days later as you enter those doors again. As Pastor Dion challenges us in today’s message, it’s time to take Jesus with you. He longs for you to acknowledge and embrace His presence and involvement in your everyday life.
